What makes Steady a good gym log app?

Steady helps lifters log sets, reps, weight, rest times, and workout history quickly on iPhone with a custom numeric keypad, without social feeds, ads, or account setup.

Can I use Steady to track progressive overload?

Yes. Steady keeps your training history organized and uses a Progressive Overload engine to suggest when to add weight, push for more reps, or deload based on performance.

Does Steady work for serious strength training?

Yes. It is designed for lifters who care about clear workout logging, routine structure, personal records, and practical progression.

Gym Log App for iPhone

If you want a gym log app that stays fast between sets, Steady is built for exactly that. You can log sets, reps, weight, warmups, and workout history without digging through a social feed or bloated menus.

Steady focuses on the part of training that matters most: capturing the work you actually do in the gym, then turning that history into useful progression guidance.

Fast and Flexible Logging

A good gym log shouldn’t slow you down. Steady features a custom logging keyboard with a fast numeric keypad and wheel picker for weight and reps, allowing per-set or apply-to-all controls.

Workout Sessions: Dedicated session with an auto-resume feature—if the app is closed mid-session, your progress is never lost.
In-Session Edits: Adjust sets, rep ranges, weights, and rest targets for a routine directly from the workout.
Replace & Alternatives: Swap an exercise in-place and maintain a list of saved alternative exercises for quick substitutions when equipment is taken.
Supersets: Link exercises together and Steady will automatically navigate between them during logging.

What you can track in Steady

Sets, reps, RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion), and weight for every exercise
Workout history across multiple training programs
Personal records for max weight, total volume, max reps, and longest duration
Effort Scores that sync directly to Apple Fitness
Automatic Rest Timers with Siri voice announcements and a floating panel

If your main goal is to keep a clean record of your lifts, Steady covers the core workflow of a serious workout log.

Built for lifters, not engagement loops

Many workout apps try to become social networks. That slows down the main job of a gym log app: helping you record training fast enough to stay focused.

Steady takes the opposite approach:

No social feed
No account required
No distracting ads
Completely private, with local and encrypted iCloud storage

That makes it a strong fit for people searching for a weightlifting log app, lifting tracker, or minimalist gym tracker.

Why Steady works well as a lifting log

Steady combines fast logging with real training context. You can look back at your last session, see how a lift has moved over time, and use that data to make better decisions in the next workout. After finishing, a Workout Review lets you choose which weight and rep changes to persist to the routine permanently.
